An Aunt that moved away from here 40 years ago made a visit this week and she started reminiscing about the various factories and businesses that used to be around here, as recently as 20 years ago we had all of the following:

Rustler blue jean plant
Fruit of the loom
Garans childrens clothing plant

Fertilizer plant
rock crusher/asphalt plant

two large volume sawmills -- cross ties and hardwood lumber
Ford place
Chevrolet place
Three grocery stores
Big box store discount retailer
two feed and seed stores

Ice plant
